I have two bench knives for my bread baking. One I keep dull for picking up flour, onions if I'm cooking, etc. The other I keep sharp for scraping down my worktable. It takes a very fine layer of wood off, leaving just a few flakes of sawdust... I've never tried it on my Boardsmith Boards...

Those are the pro scrapers. I wish I could find the user guide & set up online, but I can't. Any way they come with a guide that tells you to make a bur by running it done a mill file. When using it The thought came to me that it was a lot like using a cabinet scraper. So I set up a dough knife the way a cabinet scraper is donehttp://woodgears.ca/scraper/index.html

And it worked just as good if not better then the Fdick ones. The bur scrapes the fine scratches off and exposes the deep ones so that they can be cleaned out. By using a scraper it keeps the bored level and flat. I have been doing this to the blocks & boards at work for years & they all look as good as new, works on the rubber boards too.

I worked with a baker that could use a dough knife like some chef's use a cleaver. He kept it sharp and straight at the edge, granted not cut tomato sharp. Ever since then I have been interested in more uses with the bench knife.
